Well actually it’s the nurse That’s Joe’s sister Rosemary, who knows that the way to my heart is not diamonds, it might be flowers, but mostly it’s pie. We got to spent some of Mother’s Day weekend with Joe’s mom in Bethany Beach. We brought her a pot of geraniums. Joe built a bridge over […]
We sold it on her birthday, which made the pain of another goodbye seem also like a gift, given directly from her. A special thanks to my brother Joey for his hard work on making it happen.
I asked her if I had to wear cowboy boots when I heard it was a barn wedding. She said I could if I wanted to but I might be the only one. I think we clean up pretty good. There were hugs all around. And a few happy tears. The official grand entrance was […]
The Dance Parties don’t stop. After dancing with Alice to Follow the Yellow Brick Road at the Baltimore Mobile Community Brick Factory, we were surprised by another dance opportunity. Besides visiting Josh and making bricks at the Community Mobile Brick Factory for future public art, another part of going to Baltimore was to see Joe’s […]
Writing is the way I process, the way I tap my emotions that I sometimes otherwise block. This is not THE story, but just a little piece from my perspective that hopefully gives a glimmer into what was gold: My sister Kathleen Marie Redman Osborn (aka Kathleen Flying Boat by our father) January 29, 1948 […]
The Crew Cut Crowd. The Wild Ones. The picture in which I call Franklin “Lancelot” and he shows me that he’s strong enough to lift a chair. The Sistahs! The Gamblers. Sophia and her Barbie Mermaid Bubble Blower. Father and Daughter. Mother and Son. The Hostess with the Mostest, our brother Joey (on the right) […]
It was worth it to catch a ride to Roanoke from a friend who got a speeding ticket on the way, to fly from Roanoke to LaGuardia where I almost missed the plane and then lost my boarding pass, to go from LaGuardia to Logan where I got picked up by my sister and her […]
My sisters passed the phone around the community room and took pictures of me on it. I also took pictures of them. I couldn’t get my mom lined up very good. It looks like I got right into my brother Bobby’s head. This is my mother being surprised. She got sick in December and ended […]
In November of 2014, I visited my elderly mother in my hometown of Hull, Massachusetts to help with her care. She’s been physically disabled for four years now and has hired caregivers from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I’ve helped with her care on several occasions before, but this was a trip I had been […]
Aka: Day in the Life of a Christmas Present We packed up Josh’s new Camry and brought our Christmas to Dylan’s house this year. Because kids make Christmastime all the more fun. And Liam and Bryce sure know how to open a present. I’m not sure if they were wrestling with each other or the […]
While in my hometown of Hull visiting my family and helping out with my mother’s care, I met three (so far) brand new family members, one of which has the name of my late brother Jimmy. There were also new (first time) moms. Desmond’s mom is blogger. Check it out HERE. I call this one […]
